First announced earlier this year, the Saito Style variant of Sentinel's upcoming 4-inch Rockman.EXE figure has finally been revealed. It's currently planned as a Gentinel Web Store exclusive requiring pre-order reservations (starting tomorrow) to purchase. With the imposition of regional exclusivity -- not to mention a limited production run -- you better believe this one will be hard to nab!
UPDATE: Hold the phone! Pre-orders are live and available in ENGLISH with international shipping! Act fast!

It's written "Gentinel" according to their URL, which is a lot less awkward sounding.
ReplyDeleteoh hub where art though.
DeleteWhile I personally have no interest in it, it's good to see that the web exclusive is a color variant. A fringe item for hard core collectors.
ReplyDeleteI'm much more bothered by figures like the Figuarts Jigen and Zenigata being online exclusive. Or the NECA TMNT arcade style figures being San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. People want these things, they will PAY MONEY for them. So why make them so hard to get?
How do I preorder?
ReplyDeleteSee the link. It's not up until tomorrow. Difficult if you're outside Japan
DeleteYeah. I'm having great difficulty even making an account.
DeleteOh this is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie - I'm really pissed. I was really looking forward to this, and I'm upset that it's a regional web exclusive. Hope this gets a more widely-distributed reissue.
ReplyDeleteYou could always use a forwarding service like Tenso. It's a little expensive, but it's not too bad.
DeleteI'm going to try to snag one tomorrow. Anyone know what time these are going up?
Well, it's good to know not that they can ship to US, but the price of shipping is nearly the price of the item itself! I'm going to have to hold on this one - still hoping for a wider release.
DeleteKind of a shame it's exclusive to Japan. Any word on what time these go up?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's nice. Wish I could get one. :(
ReplyDeletePreorders are live!

Wait, are the Sentinal figures not coming stateside? I was hopping to order them from my local comic shop as I do with D-arts and the like.
ReplyDeleteAt first I really wanted this one, especially since "Saito Rockman" is literally the name that spawned my online tag of "Saito" for the last 15 years.
ReplyDeleteBut then I seen that the website wants to charge like over $80 after its stupid high ass shipping charge?
And I'm like nah, I'm good just getting the normal style.
The total for the order (one figure plus shipping) is $66 and change with the current Yen conversion. IF this figure is going to be highly limited and ONLY sold in the specified time frame EXCLUSIVELY by the Gentinal Web Store, then it's probably a small price to pay. I've learned my lesson not hopping on a lot of the D-Arts figures. What a challenge.
DeleteWhy can't they ship this to Europe?! F***, I'm so pissed.
ReplyDeletePre-Ordered. Really though, Figure companys should really consider making more Star Force, Legends, and ZX related stuff, I'd love to see a figure of Geo and Omega-Xis, as well as MMSF3 Mega Man, and his Finalized Noises, Black Ace and Red Joker who look perfect for action figure releases.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see just about anything from Legends, though Tiesel would get me too hyped.
And Model ZX, as well as Model A(Ashe), and Model A(Gray) would be great things to have from the ZX series.
Oh, and if we have to get side characters can we please get Axl? He's got an awesome character design, and he was made into a much more likable character in X8 and Command Mission. The third Maverick Hunter deserves at least a bit of modern day spotlight.
I know this sounds like too much but they really are just basic ideas I'd like to see figure companies tackle.
Does the site charge you at checkout or when it's released?
